“…In the Congo Basin, timber exploitation is placing growing pressure on local biodiversity, with potential negative repercussions on food security and livelihoods [104]. Some timber species have edible fruits and oil extracted from seeds; others host caterpillars that make up 75% of the protein eaten by the Baka during the period when caterpillars are available [105]. Examples of conflicts between multiple uses are also documented in Asia [106] and South America [107].…”

“…In cases of conflict over the use of multipurpose species, which supply both timber and food products, forest management plans should be negotiated with timber concessions and adapted to consider the interests of both local communities and timber companies [105]. Such an approach should be based on a sound cost-benefit analysis that takes into account livelihoods and the food and nutritional benefits of forest foods in the diets of the local community.…”

“…The importance of forest resources for rural livelihoods has increasingly been recognized during the last three decades (Djoudi et al 2015;Ndoye and Tieguhong 2004;Shackleton and Shackleton 2004;Shackleton et al 2007;Vedeld et al 2007;Wunder 2001). Forests are important for crops (Verchot et al 2007;Garrity et al 2010); they provide food, fuel, fodder and facilitate income generation.…”

“…One feature of NWFP is that they are often collected and traded by women, and so help to increase their income and livelihood status. For example, in the humid forest zone of Cameroon, an estimated 94% of the traders of NWFPs are women (Ndoye & Tieguhong, 2004). However, while women tend to dominate the collection and trade of many NWFP, men are more involved in the harvest of higher-value commodities such as rattans, bushmeat and medicinal plants (Hoare, 2007).…”
